In practice the eggs are broken and dropped into the receptacle b and from this receptacle they are dumped into. a bucket or any suitable receiver of placed below the device and supported in any desired manner.

With this device any number of eggs may be broken into the receptacle 6 and then dumped into the receiver d, or the eggs may be dumped as broken, and if a bad egg is dropped into the receptacle 6 it may be dumped therefrom into a supplemental receiver or cup and not dropped into the main receiver (Z. I also preferably place transversely of the stationary part of the receptacle and preferably at the front edge thereof a blade-shaped device 0 on which the eggs may be broken, and this device may be mounted loosely on the receptacle or secured thereto in any desired manner.

In the accompanying drawing the receptacle is divided into two approximately equal parts, but the line of division at b may be changed to the dotted position indicated at w in Fig. 2, or to that indicated at x if desired.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A device of the class described comprising a bowl-shaped receptacle divided transversely into two parts hinged together at the top of the side portions thereof, one of said parts being adapted to be secured to a support and the other being provided with a handle.

2.
